Hi guys. Am new to using PS3 here so hopefully can get an answer.

When I'm downloading in the background (around 1 GB) can I still play games like Heavy Rain or others? Will it affect my download?

It depends on what kind of content you are downloading. If it's a Game Update, then no you cannot do Background Downloading. However if it's anything from PSN, Game Demos or something then yes you can download in the background. It's very noticeable which ones you can background download and which ones you can't.

However, bear in mind that the PS3 has a system implemented where you play online games, for example Fat Princess or WKC, your downloads in the background will be automatically set into Pending and will only resume when you're not in Online mode in the game.

Am actually downloading a game. Thanks!
